Victorian women travellers were not docile.
They were fearless.
Eliza Bradley was shipwrecked, captured and
taken as a slave until the British Consul paid a
ransom to free her.
Annie Hore set off with her baby son and
missionary husband only 11 years after Stanley
took the same route in pursuit of Dr.
Livingstone.
Helen Caddick was carried across Africa in a
hammock accompanied by 25 local bearers,
cooks, guides and a boy translator who spoke
only Biblical English.
Read their stories, in their own words and learn
what adventure used to be.
Not All Bonnets and Bustles: Victorian
Women Travellers in Africa combines the
work of all three writers and offers:
An Authentic Narrative of the Shipwreck and
Sufferings of Mrs. Eliza Bradley;
To Lake Tanganyika in a Bath Chair, and A
White Woman in Central Africa
